Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

Chapter 57 There is a mine at home!

The overly large windows that Li Jinglong mentioned were floor-to-ceiling windows specially designed by Mei Yin.

As a later generation, he has an obsession with floor-to-ceiling windows.

Especially after arriving in Daming, she fully felt the gloom brought by the narrow windows of the thatched house. When Mei Yin was preparing to repair the house, she even more intensely wanted to get a floor-to-ceiling window.

The window is too small and the lighting in the room is poor.

Even if it is a sunny day, the room is not bright.

This is usually the case, let alone if it is cloudy and rainy.

There were no electric lights in this era. On cloudy days and rainy days, even if the lights in the room were turned on during the day, it would still look dim.

Fed up with this dimness, Mei Yin must choose oversized floor-to-ceiling windows to improve lighting when building another house.

Living in a bright house, people's mood will improve and they will no longer be depressed.

As for the problem of too big windows that Li Jinglong was worried about, Mei Yin was not worried.

He has a way to take care of the windows.

The most ideal situation is naturally to trigger the reward of feeding pigs to become stronger by doing something, thereby obtaining the method of making glass.

In the future, glass will be made and installed on the windows to make glass windows.

If it can't be triggered and the glass can't be burned, that's okay.

Just get some white paper and paste it on, it will work just fine.

Anyway, he just wanted big windows and wanted the inside of the house to be bright.

I don't want to be as dim as I am now.

"It's okay, I will definitely solve the window problem later.

Then just wait and see. "

Mei Yin didn't tell Li Jinglong what he would do in the future, and Li Jinglong didn't ask.

But since Mei Yin said this, according to Li Jinglong's understanding of his second uncle, he must have a way to do it well...

After taking a closer look here again, Li Jinglong felt that the style of the house designed by Mei Yin was generally good.

However, many places give people a strange feeling.

It doesn't quite fit his taste.

He felt that after such a house was built, it would definitely be uncomfortable to live in.

If he builds a new house in the future, he will never build it like his second uncle.

It’s still my family’s old house. It’s comfortable to live in and makes people feel comfortable just looking at it...

……

"Uncle Zhao, whose family owns this barren slope?"

Three or four miles southwest of Shuangshui Village, Mei Yin stood here looking at the barren hills in front of her, which was about 100 acres, and looked at Zhao Jiazhang to ask.

This barren hill is full of rocks and has very little soil, making it impossible to grow crops.

Even if you plant a tree, it will not grow into a man.

There is too little soil.

There are only some weeds and some low trees growing on weekdays.

In spring, summer and autumn, people tending cattle and sheep tend to come here.

In the winter someone would get some hay for the fire.

For farmers, this place is of little use and tasteless.

However, for Main, it is very useful.

Because this is a place where Mei Yin discovered a very large amount of limestone after two days of investigation.

Based on the knowledge he gained about firing cement, he conducted some research.

Mei Yin was certain that the many exposed limestones were only a small part.

There’s more underneath.

If we can get this place into our hands and build a cement-burning factory, we will definitely be able to burn a lot of cement.

"This is from Qiangang Village next door. This large piece of land belongs to Mr. Zhang's family."

Zhao Jiachang, who was following him, made an introduction.

This Qiangang Village is adjacent to Shuangshui Village.

This place is located at the junction of Qiangang Village and Shuangshui Village.

As one of the chiefs of Shuangshui Village, Zhao Jia Chang has lived here for a long time and naturally understands these situations.

Are they all from the same person?

That would be easier to handle.

Next, it would be easier to purchase this place yourself.

You only need to talk to one person, which saves a lot of effort.

"Uncle Zhao, what do you think of this gentleman?

Is it okay to talk? ” ˆ ˆ Mei Yin asked.

Hearing Mei Yin's words, Zhao Jiachang shook his head.

"Not easy to talk to.

How should I put it? This old Che family was the largest wealthy family in this area during the Yuan Dynasty.

However, after the chaos of the late Yuan Dynasty, the family's land and money decreased a lot.

But even so, his family still owns the most fields in Qiangang Village.

It is said that rich people live a good life.

But this old cutout is an exception.

He is very stingy and cares about everything.

Take this barren hill for example. In places like ours, no matter who owns the barren hill, as long as crops cannot be grown, people can come and graze cattle and sheep at will.

No one will care.

But this old cutout is not like that.

He doesn't allow others to graze cattle and sheep here. He comes here to take a look if he has nothing to do. If he sees someone herding cattle or sheep here, he will scold them.

He even beats people up.

Sometimes, some food mixed with poison is specially prepared and placed here, and the cattle and sheep that come here to graze are poisoned to death..."

"If he does this, no one will care about him?

He poisoned other people's cattle and sheep, which was against the law. "

Li Jinglong frowned secretly.

Zhao Jiachang shook his head and said: "It's not like no one complained to the officials or used other methods to solve the problem.

It's just that this old man has been here for many years, has friendships with some people in the yamen, and his family is rich.

In this case, who can compete with him?

In the beginning, there were still some people fighting, but after a few fights, the people of the cattle and sheep family suffered a loss.

If someone encounters this kind of thing again later, no one will dare to argue anymore.

The people whose cattle and sheep were killed by the medicine could only swallow their anger and consider themselves unlucky. "

Li Jinglong frowned even deeper when he heard this.

Mei Yin had lived in a village in her previous life. When she was a child, she had seen some village bullies act and knew how they bullied others.

The reaction was not as big as Li Jinglong's.

That was the case then, let alone now.

Now this kind of thing is absolutely indispensable...

"Zhang Laozhao cares about everything and only cares about petty gains.

Also extremely stingy.

One of the things he is most famous for is that the fertilizer will never flow into outsiders' fields.

If you want to defecate or pee outside, you must hold it in your own field.

One time I was so hungry that I was a little far away from his family's fields.

When ordinary people encounter this kind of situation, they must quickly find a place to solve it.

But Zhang Laoji was not like this. He felt sad that the fertilizer water could not reach his fields.

As a result, when he was driving towards his own field, he accidentally fell down and all his feces came out.

Pulled the crotch. "

At this time, Chief Zhao stopped calling Mr. Zhang and directly addressed him as Mr. Zhang.

He also talked about Mr. Zhang’s glorious deeds that were widely circulated in this area.

Mei Yin, Li Jinglong and others couldn't help but laugh.

At the same time, I was dumbfounded and felt like my eyes had been opened.

If they hadn't heard this news from Chief Zhao Jiazhang today, they would never have imagined that there was such a person in the world!

"Uncle Zhao, I want to buy this wasteland, what do you think?"

After learning who Zhang Laoji was, Mei Yin looked at Zhao Jiazhang and told him his plan.

He also consulted Chief Zhao for his opinion on this matter.

Hearing this, Zhao Jia Chang frowned slightly.

"Mr. Mei, I'm afraid this matter is a bit difficult to handle. Mr. Zhang is different from others."

Mei Yin was not surprised at all when he heard this.

But this matter must be dealt with no matter how difficult it is.

He wants to take control of this barren hill!
